The youngest boy suddenly interrupted his cousin's musings and raised his glass to toast the boss.
"Mr. Levens, I wonder if you understand the current situation on Higg's side?"
The boss also seemed to see that the topic he had just raised was not suitable for discussion, so he hurriedly moved to reality.
"I know a little bit, I heard that although the war is over, the ground is still not peaceful. ”
The bearded man's attention was finally redrawn back to reality, which made the boss breathe a sigh of relief, he really couldn't stand the other party's contemplative eyes, and he felt like crying when he saw himself.
"It's not just not peaceful, it's just very dangerous, out of Wulang Town, you may encounter horse bandits at almost any time, if you go like this, it's too dangerous, so I advise you to hire some mercenaries or private soldiers to protect your past. Or simply sacrifice some time and take a detour to the west. ”
The boss said these words from the bottom of his heart, and he wouldn't tell the other party about the general relationship, otherwise his already sluggish business would be even worse. And the reason why the boss said this was because the other party's eyes made him feel sympathetic.
"I see, no wonder my father said in his letter that he had hired five guards for us to wait near the border, but we were still late and missed the meeting, and now we don't know where they are. ”
The youngest boy suddenly realized.
A few people were chatting here, the kitchen over there had prepared the food, and a guy brought it up from the back kitchen, and the boss sent several snacks with local characteristics.
The three children were really hungry, and it was estimated that they had not eaten after walking a long way, so as soon as they saw the food coming up, they immediately grabbed a large piece of lamb chops and tore them, only the bearded man did not seem to be very interested in food, but just gently sipped the wine and chatted with the boss by the way.
"It turns out that your uncle has already been prepared, but there are five guards to be less, and they may not be able to protect you. Unless they're all high-level swordsmen, huh...?"
Speaking of high-level swordsmen, the boss suddenly remembered something, and a puzzled expression appeared on his face.
"Is there something wrong?"
When the bearded man saw the boss's expression, he not only moved in his heart, but hurriedly asked.
"Speaking of the five high-level swordsmen, there was such a group of people in my shop a few days ago, but they didn't stay long, they just drank a bowl of wine, and it seemed that they were heading towards the border that afternoon. ”
"Boss, what kind of dress are those five people, do they have any weapons for self-defense, and what are their appearances. ”
Hearing that the boss had seen five people, the haggard young man excitedly grabbed the boss's wrist, and his eyes showed a devouring chill, which made the boss not only shiver.
"Mr. Levins, don't get excited, don't get excited! Let me pause and think about it, they are all southerners, all of them are tall, dressed as adventurers, carrying long swords and bows and arrows, and the only physical feature I can remember is that one of them has a scar under his eye. ”
The boss was hurt by Allen's wrist, so he quickly pulled it back, and then after a little recollection, he said the clothing and characteristics of several people.
"How can the boss be sure that they are from the south of the continent?"
The youngest boy asked on the other side.
"I don't know how many people have been picked up and dropped off, and I haven't heard of any kind of accent, so as soon as they open their mouths, I can hear it, it should be the accent of the Congo Mountains. ”
"Congo Mountain? It can't be, how can the people over there run to the Yus Empire in the open. ”
When the haggard young man heard the words "Congo Siguan", his pupils contracted violently.
"I can't talk about it, but I heard from the merchants that since the end of the civil strife, the priests of the Holy See have come, and many of them have come from the side of the Congo Mountain, and they have come here to help the people, and at the same time they have built churches everywhere, large and small, and spread doctrines, and now it is said that five out of ten people are believers. ”
"I turned out to be like this, but I didn't expect that in just over a year, such a big change has taken place over there. ”
The haggard young man looked pensive.
"That's right!" the boss Uma seemed to suddenly remember something, and suddenly said: "I heard that the pastor over there is very good at healing, and many dying patients are brought back to life in their hands, so your aunt's illness can be helped by the pastor, maybe she can turn the crisis around." ”
"Boss, what you said is very reasonable, I can't wait to fly to my uncle's house to see my aunt's situation now?" It's just that the five people you just mentioned should be the guards invited by my uncle, and now I don't know how far they have gone,"
"Oh, it's hard to say, those people seem to have arrived here three or four days ago, and they didn't stay, I don't know if they have crossed the border now and returned to the south. ”
"In that case, let's hurry to the border as soon as possible to see, are you three full? ”
"I'm full, but brother, you haven't eaten yet. ”
The little girl dressed as a magician gently wiped her greasy little mouth and asked the bearded man with concern.
"I'm not hungry, and since you're full, we'll set off at once. ”
After the haggard young man finished speaking, he raised his glass:
"Boss Uma, it's an honor to meet you, I have something important to do today, don't stay for a long time, and meet again in the future." ”
"Mr. Levens, it's also an honor to know you, and I'm sure we'll have the chance to meet again. ”
The proprietor, Uma, also raised his glass and touched the haggard young man, then got up to send the four men to the door, and waved goodbye to the four who were riding away with a smile.
Looking at the backs of the four people leaving, a strange smile suddenly appeared on the corner of the boss's mouth.
"Boss, what are these four boys doing, it's worth wasting so many tongues?"
The guy in the back kitchen didn't know when he walked behind the boss Uma and asked with some curiosity.
"These four people don't look young, I'm afraid it's not simple, and they must have some intentions to go to Higg, definitely not as simple as going to him to visit his aunt. ”
The boss stared in the direction of the distance and said with a thoughtful expression.
"Boss, you think too much of those four little kids. ”
"Boss, although I have spent most of my life here, I have no power or power, but I think I can't be wrong to look at people, otherwise the above would not have put me here for so many years. The haggard young man just now was definitely not a simple character, and for a moment there was a murderous look in his eyes that made me feel a little frightened. ”
